Mne žal' tebja
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Mne žal' tebja! Ty iskrenno tak ljubiš',
I laski ždeš' ty ot menja!
No, bednyj drug, sebja ty ėtim gubiš',
JA ne mogu ljubit' tebja!

Byla pora, kogda i ja ljubila,
Kipelo serdce žizn'ju molodoj;
No tuča černaja moj gorizont zatmila,
I ne blestit luč solnca nado mnoj!

Ot gorestej i groznych bur' serdečnych
Ne ta teper' ja, čto byla.
I ot stradanij ėtich beskonečnych
Ustala ja, iznemogla.

Vzgljani! Čelo pečaliju povito,
Ne svetitsja ogon' v moich glazach,
A serdce bednoe isterzano, razbito,
Davno, davno rastajalo v slezach!

Besčuvstvenno na vsë teper' gljažu ja,
V stradan'jach vjanu ja s toski,
I cholodny usta dlja poceluja,
I choloden privet ruki.

No esli by tebja ja znala prežde,
To poljubit' mogla b tebja i ja…
Teper' odno skažu: ostav' svoi nadeždy,
Mne žal' tebja, mne, pravo, žal' tebja!
